MODULARIZATION – SULFUR MELTER PLANT External Heat Exchangers – NO COILS IN MELTER VESSEL Thermal efficient – small melter vessel Solids clean out during operation HEX maintenance during operation

Designed for 155 stph dry basis, Higher moisture, Moderate acidity No steam coils in melter vessel Based on proven concepts External Heat Exchanges (HEX) give high heat transfer coefficients Installed spare Heat Exchanger and Sulfur HEX Pump Melter tank elevated with concave bottom allows for continuous removal of melter non-meltables to the pump tank Pump tank designed for quick non-meltables removal while hot Above allows longer periods between major turnarounds resulting in higher availability Simple controls – flow rate of solid sulfur feed

Tank, baffles and agitator all designed to create strong vortex Liquid height to diameter ratio sized for effective agitation Solid sulphur and high temperature liquid sulphur inlet feeds both directed & mix in vortex Vortex causes immediate immersion of sulphur solids in liquid sulphur, expeditiously wetting all surfaces, melting the solids Raised tank with conical bottom and sump to collect larger non- meltable solids. Continuous underflow constantly removes non-meltables creating a “Self-Cleaning” melter.

High volume sulphur melting units with capacities up to 4,000 tons per day. External heat exchanger (HEX) gives high heat transfer coefficient, allowing high melting rates High circulation rate through HEX for efficient heating and melting All vessels and equipment are above ground. Vertical “in-tank” pumps. All molten sulphur is contained during unplanned shutdown. Customizable to meet specific customer requirements.

Sulfur Storage The sulfur storage system consists of two 60 ft. diameter concrete silos with elevated 50 degree cones and a screw feeder reclaim system. Each of the two silos will be designed to store 6,000 tons of sulfur at 65 pcf. The final silo design including hopper slope and height is based on material testing. – Silos equipped with elevated cones (50 degree slope) for gravity feed to the reclaim system. – The hopper are mild steel construction with a S.S. liner. – The hoppers have vibrators around the perimeter to assist with material flow. – A Screw feeder is used to feed to the melter feed conveyors at a variable rate up to PCF. – Openings are placed in the bottom of the silo for ventilation and access.

Melter Feed System The melter feed system consists of two 24” BW conveyors rated at 200 tph at 65 pcf to feed the melter. Only one conveyor is needed to feed the melter at a time assuring sulfur feed to the melter while allowing for maintenance on the conveyors. The lime storage system consists of a 12 ft. diameter welded steel silo with a target box and bin vent filter to receive hydrated lime by self- unloading trucks. The lime silo will be located in a tower over the melter feed conveyors and gravity feed the melter feed conveyors. Conveyors: – Two (2) 24” BW feed conveyors is located in an open common gallery to the melter. Lime Storage Silo: – Lime silo is 12’ diameter equipped with a bin vent filter and piping for receiving lime from self-unloading pneumatic trucks.

Sulfur filtering is a fairly simple process: After melting and neutralizing, dirty sulfur is collected in the filter feed tank, located next to the sulfur melter. The filter feed pumps draw sulfur from the tank and provide sufficient pressure to send sulfur through the filters and into the clean sulfur collection tank. The actual filtration is done by filter aid, which is deposited on the screens during the pre-coating process, prior to filtering. -The filter screens provide structure to hold a thin layer of filter aid in place. -As the dirty sulfur passes through the filter aid, the fine solid contaminants are too large to pass through After passing through the filters, the filtrate sulfur (clean sulfur) is collected and pumped to offsite liquid sulfur storage
